Chemotherapy § Lymph Nodes

Thank you again for this wonderful site.
I've had my first cycle of chemo, before surgery and my question is:
It seems logical that given the strong effects of chemo that lymph nodes may have a temporary reaction while doing their job, such as become swollen. Can you tell me if this is sometimes the case? I have called my doctor's office, but may be awhile before i get an answer. thanks.
